Evening,
There are not many breeders of pure Ameraucanas in this area. I am trying to humbly educate folks that all chickens that have a piece of beard or muff is not an Ameraucana.
Most folks around here think if it lays a blue, green, or any other color of egg other than brown or white it is a Ameraucana.
Most folks are really interested when I tell them that there are only 8 colors of Ameraucanas. Some people look at you like you are from another planet when you try to explain genetics, but I\'m trying.
So I guess my culls are not that bad, I,m just real picky.
I guess I should explain, I got $15 for the hens and $10 for the roosters. I did sell one of my blue wheaten roosters for $15 yesterday.I wound up with 8 Wheaten and 3 Blue Wheaten roosters out of those that I ordered from MS Barbar Campbell, so I sold a couple of them.
I have printed out copies of the genetic makeup of Black, Blues and Splash and of the Wheaten, so I can just give customers a copy, to help them understand.
Thanks
Jess
